A walk along Liverpool waterfront
from Festival Gardens & return
7miles 50ft!
Setting off along the waterfront promenade after parking at the Festival Gardens car park south of the city centre
Zooming in on the Anglican Cathedral
It was approaching the time of the hightide and ships were weighing anchor and heading out to sea....
....but not those moored in the marina....
....which included canal boats. The 127 mile Liverpool to Leeds canal starts from here
Two brave individuals were practising their wild water swimming
The pilot boat was heading out to bring in the ships waiting to enter the docks
Passing the M & S arena venue....
....followed by the ferris wheel which I'd not seen before
Arriving at the Albert dock....
The chain fence was covered in 'love locks'
The Liver building once the home of the Royal Liver Insurance and is the emblem of the city of Liverpool
Arriving at the Pier Head....
....from where the ferry across the Mersey sails
Zooming in on one of the two Liver birds, now is this one Bertie or Bella?
Continuing now to the cruise ship terminal....
.....where the relatively small 998 passenger liner....
'Viking Vela' from Bergen was moored....
No explanation is required for these 4 young lads!
Leaving the city centre I returned to Festival Gardens...
....and a final look at the shipping still sailing down the river Mersey
A very different sort of walk this week as I was having some difficulty with a knee injury and was testing out my fitness!
